"Portrait"

[PentaxKman]

This was shot for a school assignment I did recently...  Shot on Fuji Neopan 400, with my K2DMD and SMC 50mm f/1.7.  

This scan looks kinda flat...  Still trying to figure out this scanning stuff.  The print is not this flat looking.  But anyhow...  Whatdya think?

Composition's intriguing, but ... I wonder if a vertical doorpost would help perception and appreciation of the sloping legs ... ?

Great! I Like it. Subject is well isolated and brings attention right to it.
Good contrast and the background does not distract. Nice!

I have a neighbor that has a little girl. Every year since her birth they take pictures of their feet in similar composition as yours. In hammock, wading pool, back of truck, bike etc..... She has a wall full of these pictures hanging on ribbons etc. At first I thought what the....... But then I though what a neat idea and great record of changing times and little feet with big feet.

Certainly gets some extra credit for subject choice.  One sees baby feet somewhat more often than is really needed.  Young adult feet mostly get neglected.  I suppose if I got an assignment to shoot some sort of feet I would pick a pair that had been around the block a few more times, but that is probably mostly a product of my age.
. . Those feet are quite nice, but it is very hard to predict how people - particularly women - will react to pictures of their feet and legs.  In my experience, most women will voice some complaint about the appearance of their legs and feet.  Sometimes that is a genuinely felt self-assessment, and sometimes it is just a compliment-fishing expedition.  It is very important to get the response right if you expect to have an enduring relationship to the person wearing the feet.

:lol:

Thanks for all the comments thus far.  The feet belong to my wife.  And she like the print, so I guess that's something.  I just wanted to do something different for our portrait assignment, so this is what i did!  

TravisM:  That's a pretty cool idea!  Might have to try that, as I have a little one on the way!

Very good, I'd crop the door frame from it
It'll give far more attention to the feet and the stool.
